Women Build Construction Skills Training Clinics

Lowe’s partners with Habitat York County to Offer Construction Clinics in Preparation for 2012 Women Build

Habitat for Humanity of York County’s Women Build seeks to include and engage women in all areas of the Habitat process, while emphasizing their involvement on the construction site.  As the national partner of Habitat for Humanity’s Women Build program, Lowe’s offers training clinics for women on a variety of construction skills.  For those who may not already have experience in construction, the clinics equip them to volunteer on the construction site with a local Habitat affiliate.

In preparation for Habitat for Humanity of York County’s 2012 Women Build, the Lowe’s in Rock Hill will be offering five training clinics.  These clinics are free and open to women interested volunteering with the Women Build.  Lowe’s in Rock Hill is located at 1350 Springdale Road.
